    were hooked up to IV’s by relatives. Scientists believe that mostly earthquake occurs due to the movement of plates and this theory is known as plate tectonics. This says that earth’s outer crust has ten rigid‚ hard and large plates‚ twenty small plates. These plates are continuously moving on the hot and soft rock of mantle slowly. This movement causes collision among other plates which further causes stress on the lithosphere. The stress becomes enough to shift or break crust. Now the stress

HYPOTHESIS: Microbial growth will be present in two of the three Agar plates (those containing the food product) due to the suspected presence of microbes‚ whilst the control Agar plate (containing no food products) will remain free of contamination and microbial growth. MATERIALS: - 3x Agar plates - 10g of berry yoghurt - 10g of blue vein cheese - 2 pairs of sterile gloves - 3 zipper lock bags - Miscellaneous

    temperature and crystallizes in caverns deep within the earth. The molten rock cools quite slowly over time‚ which allows the crystals to grow and develop inside the molten rock. Granite is transported to the surface of the earth by plate tectonics. The collision of continental plates moves the granite from deep within the crust of the earth to the surface. Granite is found in Ireland in the Wicklow Mountains. (http://www.talktalk.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0015252.html) Granite is distinguished

    because Japan is located between two major tectonic plates. When a large number of plate movements occur‚ the Pacific Plate makes its way below a subduction zone. When plate movements are not gradual and continuous along the subductions zones‚ quakes then now occur. When the subduction zones begin to deform from the plate‚ stress begins to build up in the rocks. Once the stress level increases to its limit‚ the rocks rupture along the boundary of the plate.                 Since the magnitude of the Japan

    According to Javier Viruete‚ “island arcs develop because of subduction of oceanic lithosphere beneath another oceanic plate…aqueous fluids and/or hydrous melts released from the subducting slab and their reaction with the overlying mantel wedge provide the prime control on arc magma genesis.” Basically this explains the formation of the islands as being caused by tectonic plates colliding against each other and releasing molten rock masses from the

The media included a liquid (YED media that was made by 3g yeast extract‚ 6g anhydrous dextrose‚ 6g agar‚ and 300 mL tap water). The liquid media was on a hot plate‚ then an oven mitt was used to carefully transfer onto 4 petri dishes at a tilted angle‚ with the petri dish lids at an angle as well to reduce airborne contamination. After the end of each pour—no more than 2/3 of the petri dish’s capacity—the flask

The other plates are entirely seafloor. The arrows show the directions that the plates are moving. Complete the table. First‚ note the geologic feature(s) that corresponds to each number on the map. Then explain in detail how the plate movements at each location account for the features at that location. Answer:
